POWER SUPPLY CORD
Four-wire installation is recommended
(required for mobile homes):
The power
supply cord must hove four. No,-10
copper wires and match a four-wire
recepfacle of NEMA Type 14-30R (see
Figure 3). The fourth wire (grounding
conductor) must be identified with a
green cover and the neutral conductor
by a white cover.
Three-wire installation (if a four-wire
system is not available):
The power
supply cord must have three, No.-lO
copper wires to match a three-wire
receptacle cf NEMA Type 10-30R (see
Figure 4).
Direct wire
The washer/dryer can be connected
directly to fused disconnect or circuit
breaker box with four-wire or fhree-wire
flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable (with grounding
wire). Do Not use two-wire with bare
grounding wire. All current-carrying
wires must be insulated.
A conduit connector must be installed
at junction box. USE ONLY 10-GAUGE
SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow four feet of slack
in the line so dryer can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.
